At the scene, sheriff’s Sgt. Michael Salehar said the woman who was driving may have become confused and mistaken the gas for the brakes. She was checked at the scene by American Medical Response personnel, but Salehar said she wasn’t injured in the crash.

No one was inside Kansas Ballet Academy when the crash occurred, Salehar said.

Glass covered the inside floor and the sidewalk in front of the dance studio as a Soldier Township firefighter backed the vehicle out of the building. It didn’t appear to be heavily damaged.

Kansas Ballet Academy is located in a strip mall between Edward Jones and Lifeline Children’s Services.

Why do Topekans seem to have such problems driving.
Often do not use turn signals.
Often pull up past pedestrian line, sometime almost into oncoming traffic.
Too many people in this town running into buildings, seems to happen too often.
